miles

My target 100 miles

I’m taking part in Walk for Parkinson’s 100 Mile Challenge to help fund specialist care for people with Parkinson’s.

I'm incredibly proud of my amazing sister Dawn who is embracing her diagnosis, raising funds and connecting positively with other people affected.  As I approach a crossroads in my working life, I've nominated this cause as my chosen charity and combines well with my love of walking - I'll be alongside you all the way sis!  Thanks everyone for donating x

Final tests today and route locked in (with a pink highlighter pen on the map!!) it actually works out at 38 miles in total!! Also once I cross over from Cheshire to North Staffs for the last 12 miles or so it gets hilly!! 😬❤️!

More route testing for the big day!

Thursday 22nd May
I’ve been out in the lovely countryside of Cheshire today testing the route for the big walk next week! Lovely hidden places and very excited to find a dairy farm selling ice cream and drinks which will be perfect for a pit stop to refuel after the first 15/16 miles!!

Getting through the miles!!

Wednesday 21st May
The good weather continues and I continue to add on the miles and get the practice in for the big finish! Thanks to everyone for your donations and encouraging words! 

Walking for wellbeing

Thanks Julia and Shaz for our years of Tuesday walking after work - definitely has a positive impact on wellbeing and another 6.34 miles added to the total!

Finishing with a mega walk!

Tuesday 13th May
As part of my challenge I've decided to finish on 31st May with a mega walk from my house just south of Warrington to my sister's house in North Staffordshire - approx 35 miles!  Hoping to do it in one day with a very early start, walking through some amazing countryside of south Cheshire and North Staffs!  Training going well, thanks to everyone for their sponsorship so far!
